Voices from Afghanistan“Letter from a Disabled Person”

Translation

My name is Abdullah Nuri, and I am a disabled person. I would like to let you know that the Ministry of the Disabled and the Martyrs of Afghanistan has collected 2,500 applications from the disabled people in 1384 H (2003 AD) in Kabul city. But no one has ever received a piece of land. They had promised to grant us land but nothing has been done as yet. We have learned that they sold the lands to their relatives and friends which is illegal. Now we want the ISAF [the International Security Assistance Force] and the UN [United Nations] to take measures and arrest these people and throw them into jail.
